to prevent shiny patches. Avoid using the spray function to prevent
stains.
Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,
such as those made of synthetic fibres.

- 3 - 4 for maximum steam (temperature settings 3 to MAX)
B
The iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been
reached.

Drip stop
This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the iron automatically
stops producing steam when the temperature is too low to prevent
water from dripping out of the soleplate.When this happens you may
hear a sound.
1 Set the temperature dial to a position that is suitable for steam
ironing (2 to MAX). Make sure that the steam setting you
select is suitable for the ironing temperature selected (see
'Steam ironing' in chapter 'Using the appliance').
The iron will start steaming as soon as the set temperature has been
reached.
Cleaning and maintenance
After ironing
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron
cool down.
2 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a
damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with
metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to
clean the soleplate.
ENGLISH 11
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water
tank after cleaning.
Calc-clean function
You can use the calc-clean function to remove scale and impurities.
Use the calc-clean function once every two weeks. If the water in
your area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate
during ironing), the calc-clean function should be used more
frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Fill the water tank until it is half full.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

C
4 Set the temperature dial to the calc-clean position. Set steam
control to position 4.

button and gently shake the iron to and fro.
Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and
flakes (if any) will be flushed out.
6 Release the calc-clean button as soon as the water in the tank
has been used up.
Repeat the calc-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the calc-clean process
- Put the plug in the wall socket, set the temperature dial to position
2 and let the iron heat up to allow the soleplate to dry.
- Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
- Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any
water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
- Let the iron cool down before you store it.

before you store it.
Replacement
The Philips Aquazur has a disposable anti-calc cassette that filters the
water in the water tank. After some time the cassette will be saturated
and should be replaced by a new one. How often the cassette should
be replaced depends on the water hardness in your area and how
often you use the iron.
- If the water is very hard, replace the cassette every 3 months.
- If the water is moderately hard, replace the cassette every 9 months.

Turn to your local water board for information about the water hardness
in your area.
To replace the cassette:
C
1 Press the cassette release button and remove the cassette.
